Wow, I thought the guys from The Division were bad, giving us two screenshots at a time. Now the good people of Bioware see fit to taunt us even more, dishing out a measly one screenshot. We’re promised more, soon, but c’mon!
On Facebook and twitter, Bioware has shown off a mighty pretty new screenshot of the Dales: Exalted Planes. They claim that more is coming next week, but so far, this is all we’ve got:
While Gavin proved that he’s high in the morning by pointing out rock formations that looked like faces, I’ve got to say that as a screenshot, this is incredibly beautiful. If this is what the game is going to look like throughout, I’m going to need to upgrade my eyeballs for viewing pleasure. No really – I’m seriously getting hyped about this game, and the visuals (even though they only come in bits and pieces) are impressive. There is no choice, I’m going to need this on my PS4 – this game was built for the new generation and it would be a disservice to the artists to play it on my PS3 or Xbox 360.
I really do have mixed feelings about the ways studios show off games. I love getting more information, earlier in the development cycle. It feels like we know more and see more of games way before they’re released. That said, it also starts to feel like all they’re doing is feeding the hype train. Plus, it can seriously cramp creative processes when they show things off that maybe shouldn’t be shown.
Still, this is a beautiful image. If the rest of the game looks like this, it will truly be something to behold. The gameplay and story appears to be just as impressive and varied. Of course, with 40 different endings, it’s going to take me a while, but (like Pokémon) I’ve got to catch them all!

Looks like what the next TES should have been and sadly this excites me more.

I can fix that. It’s an EA game. Instant cold snap.

Fixed.
Thanks
I still have a void where the next TES was supposed to be.

Witcher 3. Problem solved.

Haven’t played any of the Witchers yet. Is it also open world/sandbox?
Kromas
April 4, 2014 at 10:29
Open world for 3 but 1 and 2 had sharded areas and that worked out pretty well. 1 was slightly more linear than most people liked but damn was it pretty (back in the day). None are sandbox. Then again Skyrim was not a really a sandbox either but we can argue semantics all day.

True, to be technically correct. Then I’ll probably have a look at Witcher 3. TES games just have these insane levels of customization and crafting though.
Kromas
April 4, 2014 at 10:36
Sooooo … what exactly is wrong with TESO then? I am loving the gameplay and crafting in that bastard already.
Jedi JJ
April 4, 2014 at 10:38
It’s a good MMO. Good game.
But it’s not an Elder Scrolls game. It doesn’t play like one. And it’s boring as hell. If you’ve gone through all the past TES games you can feel that TESO is very bland and tasteless.
Kromas
April 4, 2014 at 10:40
I don’t know. I really am getting that Oblivion vibe from it but what keeps me in an MMO is end game and that is where my decision to pay a sub will come from.
Jedi JJ
April 4, 2014 at 10:42
There’s no way I’ll pay for that game, sorry. But to each his own and all. The gameplay is also exceptionally slower, imo.

I think that is why the engine is called Frostbite. 😛

ive settled for getting a xbox pc controller for the meantime, but when this game comes out, i dunno, i may end up faultering.

Why do you want a PS4 if you can get an awesomeness PC 🙂

Cause a game designed for pc,optimized for pc and built on a pc will obviously look better on console. 😛
